MOSCOW, May 7 (Itar-Tass) — A magistrarial court on Monday is to examine administrative materials concerning Alexei Navalny, a known blogger and opposition member, his defence lawyer Vadim Kobzev has told Itar-Tass.

"We were told that his administrative (-offence) case will be examined on Monday in Magistrarial Precinct 396," Kobzev said.
